Long Answer Type Questions.

Answer any THREE Questions. 3×15=45
Each question carries FIFTEEN marks.

11. a) Solve: a 3− x b 5 x = a 3 x b x +5 (8M)

log a log b log c
b) If = = show that a a , b b , c c = 1. (7M)
b−c c−a a−b

12. a) If a , b , c are non – coplanar vectors, show that the vectors (8M)
a + 2b + 3c,−2a + 3b + 5c,7a − c are coplanar.
b) Find the angles of the triangle formed by the points whose position (7M)
vectors are i + j − k , 3i + 4 j − 2k , 2i − j − k .

13. a) If A + B = 45°, then show that (1+tanA) (1+tanB) = 2 (8M)

Hence deduce the value of tan 22 12 °.
